This badge is a mark of authenticity, indicating that your Twitter account is active and noteworthy. There are certain criteria you must meet to earn the blue tick, including maintaining an active and updated profile, verifying your email address and phone number, and sending public tweets. Read on to learn the steps for obtaining your blue tick on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verification_process\"><\/span>Verification process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for ways to increase your Twitter presence, you should understand the Verification process. Once you&#8217;ve signed up and verified your account, Twitter will display a blue tick next to your profile picture. This badge will be visible for 30 days, and you can reapply if you wish. Once your account is verified, you can expect increased engagement. This is because Twitter will see that you&#8217;re legitimate and abide by their rules.<\/p>\n<p>The verification process is simple, but it does require a bit of effort on your part. First, you must be associated with a highly recognizable brand or person. If you&#8217;re a journalist, you must be affiliated with a news organization or have three bylines in a qualifying publication within the last six months. Secondly, you must have a confirmed email address and a valid phone number. Thirdly, your profile picture and username must be appropriate. Twitter does not accept accounts without these three details.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Criteria_for_obtaining_a_blue_tick\"><\/span>Criteria for obtaining a blue tick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to be eligible for Twitter&#8217;s verification badge, an account needs to meet certain criteria. To become a verified account, an individual must have a confirmed email address and phone number. Usually, these accounts are registered to individuals or companies. After becoming a verified account, a user must abide by the Twitter&#8217;s rules, including not having any lockouts or 12-hour limitations. In short, a verified account is regarded as more legitimate.<\/p>\n<p>The verification process is different for each category, with some categories requiring journalists to have three bylines in qualifying publications in the last six months. The categories for religious leaders and academics are being considered as Twitter works to standardise its verification process. However, the process is not entirely foolproof &#8211; even verified accounts can be rejected. In order to increase your chances of getting a Twitter blue tick, follow these tips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_obtaining_a_blue_tick\"><\/span>Requirements for obtaining a blue tick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A blue tick on your Twitter profile is a sign that you&#8217;ve been verified. This badge shows that you&#8217;re a verified account, and it can increase your credibility in the eyes of users. However, Twitter may remove your blue tick without warning if you don&#8217;t keep up with the requirements. Here are some of the main steps to follow to get your account verified. After you complete these steps, you should see a blue tick in your Twitter account.<\/p>\n<p>To become a verified user, you must have at least 10,000 followers. Twitter only grants the verified status to one in every thousand accounts, but this doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t get the blue tick without verifying your account. It also helps you distinguish yourself from fake accounts. For example, if you are a football reporter for the Daily Telegraph, you can get a blue tick by following football journalists. These journalists have high followings on Twitter and can easily be recognized by their personal opinions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_violations_that_could_result_in_losing_a_blue_tick\"><\/span>Common violations that could result in losing a blue tick<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the violation, you could lose your blue tick on Twitter. Repeated violations could result in your account being removed from Twitter&#8217;s verified list. You could also lose your verified status if you use the service for commercial purposes, misrepresent your identity or impersonate another user. You should review Twitter&#8217;s rules before you begin tweeting. These violations are common, but you should be aware of the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, your verified status will disappear if you change your handle name or position on Twitter. If you repeatedly violate Twitter&#8217;s terms, you risk losing your verified badge. Thankfully, Twitter warns users who repeatedly violate its policies of conduct. However, your badge won&#8217;t be removed automatically unless you do something about it. In most cases, your account will remain verified as long as it meets the standards set by Twitter.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"465\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BroStONmp6E\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Blue Tick on Twitter The blue tick on Twitter is a way to show you are a verified account.
